Kell Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I really rather fancy the Trudi Canavan ones - I've been eyeing them up for some time now & I'm thinking of asking for the 1st one for Easter off Dale... What did you think of them, Kat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilywhite Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 Trudi Canavan comes highly recommended by me. I just happened upon her books in Waterstone's one day and decided to give them a go (they were 3 for 2 ) After turning the page and finding it was the end of book one, I went straight for book two and three. I was engrossed in her easy to follow but imaginative plot and interesting, down to earth (for magicians) characters. I was just a little disappointed to come to the end and leave it all behind. Hopefully the next books will live up to what she started Kat :catlove: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 That settles it - I'm going to have to get hold of them. I've been over at Amazon, gazing wistfully at them again - LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kell Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Actually, I've just been over to read it, Swap it & requested swaps for them - Im' a cheeky madame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilywhite Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 How does read it, swap it work then, other than the obvious lol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 You just register (it's free) & put up a list of books you have available for swapping. THen you can look through the library for anything you fancy & request swaps from people. They'll then be sent the link to your list & if they choose one of yours, you just post yours off 2nd class & theirs will arrive shortly too. Of course, they can always refise if you don't have any books they want. And vice versa. I've managed to get quite a few books from there for the price of 2nd class postage.

Lilywhite Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 Ok, I've done the RISI thingy, I just need another set of eyes to kkep up with the books lol I'm coming to the end of Darkhouse by Alex Barclay and so far I'm quite impressed. The book itself looks really good, with blood red edging to the pages but the story is developing really well. I lost heart at first because I couldn't keep track of all the characters and the switching back and forth between counties and times but I think I got the hang of it now. My opinion so far is - a really great first book. Kat :catlove: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilywhite Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Just started reading Jonathan Stroud last night, the first book of the Bartemeus trilogy. Initial thoughts - very Pratchett Kat :catlove: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilywhite Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 i'm half way through this now and I'm loving it. I am having to tear myself away from it to do household stuff :oops: I'm already looking into the next book of the trilogy so that I don't forget what happened in this one highly recommended for those of you that like the lighter teenage reading but great fantasy plot.
